Canagirl... I know your desperation and your pain. Yes, every fiber of my being burns, tingles, stabs, etc. Everywhere. Yes, it's horrific. I quiver and shake and vibrate from the pain, too. I have moments where I question my existence. I keep gabapentin in three places so I'm never without it. I've questioned what would happen if I grow old and incapacitated and don't have control over when it's dispensed. The newest thing with me is profuse sweating. I've been through menopause and it's even worse than that. My feet literally stick to my shoes and I become totally overwhelmed with heat and sweat. I'm hoping it's only related to the Butrans patch I was prescribed by the pain management doctor and not a new manifestation of my illness. I only lasted two weeks on it because of the intense side effects. I had so hoped it would be my answer! I have to wonder if possibly there's a central nervous system component to your pain. That's what the doctors have suggested to me; central sensitization. That's the only thing to account for the widespread pain and the character of the pain; intense, intense burning. My entire being to the depths of my soul has been transformed by this monster that I deal with every single second of the day. I wake up in the morning to my face burning. The only way I fall asleep is with a handful of meds. I really think the Ambien helps to dampen the central nervous system and allows me to sleep. Praise God for that! Maybe you should ask for an RX for it. I know my rambling can't take away your pain, but knowing there's others out there struggling to cope may help you stay sane. Keep us updated; that's what this is all about.
